A bit of a pain as it adds cost and is less aesthetically pleasing. We were planning on using plants to screen in any case as we don't want to see the neighbours. Now the job of getting quotes again. They are coming in at over $40k. Yikes. But then we have asked for spotted gum... And have an 8 sided gazebo and additional screening. On a good note the plants are really responding to Spring. And hubby has put in irrigation so I save at least 30 minutes a day from having to water the plants. I just have to turn on the irrigation and water some of the random pots. First raspberry!

What a great screen they're going to be. Man over 40k... argh!! Perhaps you can do a really cheap (and most likely ugly) screen option, get OC, then take them down...? Replace with plants as you wanted in the first place? Re: Landscaping a new house (Sydney) 80Nov 25, 2016 9:15 am Wow 40k that not cheap, just add another $40k and you have granny flat. Your deck is quite high and big. Did Nathan come back with quote? Please let me know by pm as i'm also thinking of doing my deck with him. viewtopic.php?=31&t=81624 I ended up going with 'Andrew Belic Construction Co.' https://www.instagram.com/andrewbelicconstruction/ 2 59667 0 4982 No idea about the driveway question, but your price for a house that size including landscaping seems very good! 1 6159 |
